Rudy Fernandez said he will not be leaving Real Madrid this season.

There were rumors that the 31-year-old might join the 76ers, but Fernandez poured cold water on those reports. "At no time did I consider leaving Madrid," Fernandez said. "I know that Madrid has given me and my family a lot. I’ve been at the club for five years and I am delighted with the team, with the project, with the new infrastructure we have, and staying was always my first choice." While the NBA isn't off the table, Fernandez won't have any 2016-17 fantasy value. Sep 27 - 12:15 PM

According to Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times, the 76ers never made a two-year, $20 million offer to Rudy Fernandez.

It sounds like Fernandez will stay with Real Madrid for now. The 76ers could certainly use some more shooters, so Fernandez could've been a nice fit. He has career averages of 9.1 points, 2.4 boards, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.7 3-pointers in four NBA seasons. Jul 5 - 8:22 PM

The 76ers have made a a two-year offer to Rudy Fernandez, according to El Mundo.

El Mundo is reporting that the 76ers are offering Fernandez a two-year deal worth $20 to leave Real Madrid. We'll update the 31-year-old's status once he makes his decision, but Fernandez wouldn't have much fantasy value in a crowded Sixers frontcourt. Jul 5 - 1:27 PM

Updating a previous item, Emmanuel Mudiay (ankle, out for Thursday) tweaked his ankle on Wednesday and was ruled out after pre-game warmups on Thursday.

He is day-to-day for now. The Nuggets have been flat-out awful with Mudiay on the court in their last five, positing a net rating of -30.2 in those 126 minutes. Meanwhile, they were +12.6 in the minutes he wasn't on the court in that span. The Nuggets put Nikola Jokic (wrist) and Jamal Murray (quad) on the injury report for basically nothing, so this is still a strange report. Jameer Nelson should handle a ton of minutes while Jamal Murray also gets a bump.

RotoGrinders.com Daily Slant: With Mudiay ruled out, both Jameer Nelson and Jamal Murray become very strong $/point plays across the industry. Mudiay had been losing playing time as it is - he carried a -26 last night in just 18 minutes on the floor - so both Murray and Nelson have been involved recently. Nelson has been seeing around 30 minutes a night with Murray in the mid-twenties, but both should clear the 30 minute mark tonight.

Coach Mike Malone said he's hoping he can get Gary Harris (foot) back "in the next week or so."

This quote comes after his first unit played some horrible defense, so it also suggests Malone really wants Harris back out there to help. Emmanuel Mudiay has also suggested how much Harris means. Y’all don’t understand. That man there makes my life so much easier." Mudiay said earlier this season. While he may not make it back next week, Harris is starting to make sense as a stash. His return would hurt Will Barton and Jamal Murray.
